Kiwi Kisses Is Nearly One! 💛

An update from me, Atlanta

I honestly can’t believe I’m writing this… but Kiwi Kisses is nearly ONE YEAR OLD 🥹

What started as a little idea has somehow turned into something so much bigger than I ever imagined, and with our first birthday getting closer, I wanted to do a little update and say a huge thank you.

Running a business is something I've aspired to, and since starting home education in 2024, I’ve had a lot more freedom to explore things I’m passionate about - and Kiwi Kisses is one of them!

It’s honestly been one of the most exciting, rewarding and fun things I’ve ever done.

Alongside Kiwi Kisses, I now also run AM Dance Collective, which is currently a home-ed peer-to-peer dance class but in the future I hope for this to grow. And this weekend I’m hosting the Dancer Wellness Experience - which feels really full circle considering how much dance has shaped my life.

Life is definitely busy… but in a good way.

Looking Back On The Last Year

This year has been so crazy in the best way.

We’ve had the most amazing ambassadors, incredible brand reps, lovely product testers, so many orders, lots of new products and so much support from people who believed in Kiwi Kisses from the start (or joined somewhere along the way!).

I honestly feel like I’ve learned so much about running a business, but also about myself.

One of the biggest highlights for me has been our ambassadors. I’ve genuinely loved seeing people represent Kiwi Kisses in their own way, and I’ve been so lucky to work with some amazing ones.

A really special shoutout has to go to Sienna, who has honestly been my standout ambassador this year 💛

She’s been so supportive, consistent and just genuinely amazing at representing the brand. It’s been so nice to see someone really understand what Kiwi Kisses is about and bring their own energy to it. I even travelled to Liverpool to meet her and support her first every confidence event.

Because of how incredible she’s been, I actually named one of our products after her - The Sorby Edit - which still feels really special (and a bit surreal to say).

We’ve also had lots of product testers helping shape new ideas, brand reps bringing Kiwi Kisses to life on socials, and so many lovely orders coming in that honestly still make me excited every time.

Moments like that make me realise how far Kiwi Kisses has come in such a short space of time.

So if you’ve supported Kiwi Kisses in any way - ordered something, tested products, represented the brand, shared a post or even just followed along - thank you. It honestly means more than you probably realise 💛

Something Exciting Is Coming…

I can’t say too much just yet, but there’s a new launch coming soon, and I genuinely can’t wait to share it with you all.

I’ve really enjoyed planning it, changing ideas, and making sure it feels really Kiwi Kisses.

Supporting The Dancer Wellness Experience

Something I’m also really excited about is that I’m currently hosting the Dancer Wellness Experience this weekend. My very first event!

Dance has become such a huge part of my life, so being able to create something that focuses on dancer wellbeing feels really special.

Dance can be amazing, but it can also be really hard sometimes - physically and mentally - so this experience (hopefully the first of many) is all about supporting dancers as people, not just performers.

I’m really proud that Kiwi Kisses gets to be a tiny part of something so positive, and I can’t wait to see it all come together.

Real Life Update: GCSE Season

And because life is chaos right now… I’m also in the middle of GCSEs.

So at the moment, life is basically revision, dance and business stuff but alsi recognising the need to rest and take time out.

I feel very fortunate to be home educated as it has meant that I was able to do some of my GCSE's last year, and some this year, meaning I'm not cramming all my exams into a few weeks.

If you’re also doing exams right now - good luck. You’ve got this!

Here’s To Year Two 💛

It feels so weird saying Kiwi Kisses is nearly one.

I’m honestly just really grateful for everyone who has supported me and helped this little business grow over the last year.

There’s still so much I want to do, lots of ideas, new products and exciting things planned - and I can’t wait to take you along for the journey.

So… here’s to Year Two 💛

Love, Atlanta x
